FINAL: Nationals 4, Mets 3.

Edwin Diaz allows a walk-off single to Carter Kieboom. Francisco Lindor looked like he should have fielded it, but he might not have mattered.
In the Mets' situation, every lose this time of year is a heartbreaker. This one especially so.
The Mets are 69-69.
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) September 6, 2021
Credit to Luis Rojas for rightly calling out the offense.
— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) September 6, 2021
Edwin Diaz blew the save, and it was ugly. But the Mets should have been leading by more than one run.

NY Post:
- Trevor Williams’ gutsy Mets outing comes with big assist from defense
- Mets aren’t providing much reason to believe "Rojas noted, 'I know we were talking about Edwin just now … but let’s talk about the offense too, right? That’s been the hot topic almost the entire season of our outcomes in games. We went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position today. And we had chances to score more runs and to probably be a different game than 3-2 in the ninth.'”
- Edwin Diaz blows it for Mets in crushing loss to Nationals

New York Mets purchased Galen Cisco from the Boston Red Sox on September 7, 1962.
New York Mets signed free agent Jorge Toca on September 7, 1998.
Chicago Cubs claimed Billy Hamilton of the New York Mets on waivers on September 7, 2020.
1968 | Jerry Koosman, who sets a new franchise mark for victories, getting his 17th win of the season when the Mets beat Pittsburgh at Forbes Field, 4-3. The rookie southpaw, en route to a 19-12 record (.613), breaks the team record established by Tom Seaver last year. |
1973 | To prevent an injury, the second game of the Mets-Expos doubleheader at Jarry Park is delayed for 11 minutes. The setting sun over the rim of the Montreal ballpark makes it impossible for the first baseman to see the ball being thrown from certain positions on the field. |
1978 | In a 9-4 victory over the Expos, Mets backstop John Stearns establishes a new mark for National League catchers with his 25th stolen base. Johnny Kling swiped 24 bases catching for the Cubs in 1902. |
1984 | On his way to hurling a one-hitter, Dwight 'Doc' Gooden fans Cub Ron Cey for his 228th strikeout, setting a National League rookie record. The Mets phenom passes Grover Cleveland Alexander, who established the mark in 1911 with 227. |

The offense is crap.
Don’t rush the prospects to the bigs…Kelenic still under .160.
Agreed Tom on both points.
Vientos struggled at first at AA - let him prove himself at AAA before bringing him up.
Agree 2x
